Daily Thoughts 10/03/2018

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I read some more of Palaces for the People this morning on the way to work.  I am reading about food deserts, community gardens, and urban farms.

I checked the displays and the gift books.

I made some final edits to the Arts Alive grant including a list of what we planned for the ten classes.

The Mount Vernon Inquirer has restarted as the Mount Vernon Post.  There is a new boss for the paper, Janelle Allbritton.

The book, The Labyrinth of the Spirits by Carlos Ruiz Zafon came in for me to read today.

We had a Civics Course from the League of Women Voters today from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. It was focused on local elections.

There is a Google Docs class tonight from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the computer lab.
